Level 15 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

David Taborsky raised to 18,000 under the gun and it folded to Luigi Macaluso who called in the big blind position.

Macaluso announced a check in the dark before the flop fell {k-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Spades} and check-called Taborsky's continuation for 20,000.

On the {9-Spades} turn, Macaluso check-called again for 28,000. Both checked on the {8-Spades} river and Macaluso revealed {k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} for two pair while Taborsky mucked his hand.

The board ran out {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades} for Kessler to hold with the higher pocket pair to double up.

Level 15 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Martin Toth raised to 13,000 in the cutoff and Ismael Bojang three-bet to 44,000 in the big blind. Toth called.

The flop went {4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Bojang check-called a bet worth 55,000 from Toth. The {6-Clubs} turn went check-check.

The river brought the {4-Diamonds} and after another check from Bojang, Toth moved all in for 220,000. Bojang tanked for a few minutes and mucked his hand.
